ffffaaaaaarrrrrtttttt *is splattered with screenshots *is still trepidatious that this will collapse under the edict that all DC movies follow the same formula as the marvel MCU *liked MOS as a Superman move for never had any childlike nostalgia for the Donner films, nor manchildlike nostalgia for literal comicbooks

I for one am looking forward to another movie shot like a feature length trailer and accompanied by dialogue so bad it probably did come straight from a comic book, all done in a tone of utter and complete seriousness.

This movie might end up being a total flop, but at least it seems like it will have tried to do something, unlike any movie in the MCU.

I've never really been excited for movies, per se, but seeing how much I enjoyed Man of Steel I have some rather high expectations and at the same time am confident my expectations will be met. In other words I'm pretty stoked.

Zack Snyder isn't a lovely director he's a lovely writer. His films visually are really great. Come at me.

To contribute to the thread, here's an interview with BvS's producer Charles Roven : http://collider.com/batman-vs-superman-new-trailer-extended-cut-charles-roven/ He mentions that a new footage may come out "very soon", and I think he implied that there will be a director's cut.

If you read that scene and that was what you figured the reason was for faking his death I have to assume you're literally illiterate (hint the entire scene is a sloppy blowjob to the idea that Batman can beat anything if he has time to prepare, Superman isn't the actual problem)

Begins was way off. Knowing his parents' killer from the start, his gun thing being about him attempting to get revenge on his parents' killer and realizing that it was empty, him focusing not on martial arts and learning but living as a poor criminal and realizing that crime is based on deeper factors, the League being behind his parents' murder and his main teacher, etc.

Can you explain? Of course the film is taking direct cues from the book, but it's clear that BvS is modifying the fight to fit a new context.

So far we have maybe 5 seconds of this fight and no real context (there's some implied context, but trailers can be misleading. There's also some unconfirmed rumors). Also DC is a big company and don't think it's helpful to say that different divisions run by different people for different purposes all share some monolithic trait without providing some evidence.

There's also the seemingly swap of politics between Superman and Batman; what with Batman being more pro-establishment than MoS's Superman.
